Our poster paper, "On the Meaning of the Web as an Object of Study" is now on @arxiv_cs and I will present it at #WebSci2026 in Braunschweig!
We argue that the Web has evolved from a focused research object into a universal digital environment, and its very success has fragmented its academic identity. We discuss the "academic tragedy of the commons," the disruptive force of AI, and what it means to study the Web in 2026.
Joint work with Claudio Gutierrez (professor at @dccuchile).
